METAPHORIZATION OF WORDS IN THE MODERN RUSSIAN AND YAKUT LANGUAGES

The comparative aspect of polysemy studies of linguistic units of direct nomination is little studied which defines the importance of research of metaphorization of Russian and Yakut somatisms. Formation of figurative meaning in the composition of polysemantic words is a regularity of vocabulary development. The purpose of the paper is to analyse productive and regular models of words with figurative meaning in the comparative aspect in the Russian and Yakut languages. Hence, Russian and Yakut lexical semantic groups under consideration suggest that metaphoric transfer occurs in languages not spontaneously but is perf ormed in certain directions in a quite consecutive sequence that regular models may exist in languages. From the point of view of word relations in Russian and Yakut, the considered lexical meanings don't claim to have semantic deepness and great scope of material yet a general trend in formation of transfer, systematization of facts is outlined.
